My late husband's sister was a basket case. She really could not function. She had been to several doctors. Eventually, I got my husband to get her and bring her to stay with us. Her doctor told us that she needed exercise. That did not help. I took her to a psychiatrist along with a list of her problems. He immediately knew what was wrong. He told us that some people when they are under stress cannot absorb the natural lithium in food. He said that lithium is a mineral, not a drug. He did tests to prescribe the correct amount. It was like a miracle. She became normal again. Margi

Dear Reader:

There are Five Fundamental Rules To Chemically Correct All Mental Illnesses. This includes illnesses with names such as depression, bipolar disorder and schizophrenia.

The Five Fundamental Rules To Chemically Correct Mental Illness applies to more than those three illnesses mentioned above. They apply to almost every single diagnosis in psychiatric medicine, if not every single one.

In regard to depression, these five fundamental rules apply even if a particular case of depression seems to have a psychological stress trigger (or triggers) as its primary causative factor(s). Priscilla Slagle, M.D. first taught me this in her book "The Way Up From Down". My experiences over the past thirteen years have repeatedly validated what Dr. Slagle taught me in this regard.

The chemical correction of mental illness SHOULD ALWAYS INVOLVE correction in regard to the following FIVE chemical issues:

(1) Identify And Correct Any And All Commonly Known Malabsorptive Causes.

Malabsorption causes broad essential nutrient deficiencies.

There are a number of common causes of malabsorption.

All of the common causes of malabsorption are both Identifiable and Correctable in any person that may have them.

At least at one point during the day one should take the entire nutrient range all at once.

A pioneer nutritionist named Adelle Davis postulated that this was the correct healing approach over forty years ago.

Over the past four years Willy's Baggie idea has solidly proved in an anecdotal manner that Adelle Davis was right.

(3) Minimize One's Toxic Load.

This rule especially applies to GI tract ("gut") generated toxins. It also applies to one's preexisting toxic load, and to environmental toxins as well.

A strong argument can be made that antibiotics cause a high degree of toxicity in hundreds of millions of persons. Antibiotics do this by killing off good bacteria in the gut.

When someone's good gut bacteria dies off as a result of taking antibiotics, a whole host of bad biology can (and almost always does) proliferate in the gut. This bad gut biology can produce a high toxic load day after day for decades until one's gut biology is corrected.

(4) Minimize One's Allergic Load.

This rule especially applies to food allergens, and hidden food allergens. It also applies to environmental allergens as well.

It is going to be interesting in the years to come how much GMO crops contribute to hidden food allergies.

It is almost as this stuff is being planned behind the scenes by people that think they can use sneaky means such as GMO foods, processed foods, antibiotics, vaccines, etc. to make an entire populace sick, and then enrich themselves from this.

The worst way to address point number five on yourself is to see a conventional drug-oriented doctor. Self-applied alternative medicine is the best way to perform this step.

You Can Cure Yourself

All of the five fundamental issues listed above can be learned about, and then corrected, at home without needing the services of any doctor whatsoever.

Yes, you can cure yourself!

Some persons assume that the above five fundamental rules to correct mental illness are either too difficult or too complex for a person in their teen years to "self-correct". All I have to say to these persons is that my teenage son Willy proved that these two assumptions are incorrect.

The Five Fundamental Rules To Chemically Correct All Mental Illnesses are now known.

For all ostensible purposes, there are no exceptions to the Five Fundamental Rules To Chemically Correct Mental Illness.

The five fundamental rules of chemical correction outlined above cure mental illness from a chemical standpoint, no matter what the diagnostic label involved.

The only significant "catch" to the Five Fundamental Rules are that they need to be applied by You to Yourself.

Any chemical approach to a case of depression, or a case of mental illness, that does not address ALL OF THE ABOVE five chemical issues is hereby obsolete.

Any chemical approach to depression, or to a case of mental illness, that is proper and correct involves NO DRUG WHATSOEVER.

The Use Of Drugs To Correct Mental Illness Is Obsolete.

Drugs should only be considered temporary chemical band-aids at best. Chronic long term drug use to correct the flawed nutrient/toxic/allergic/biological issues inherent in all mental illnesses is clearly the wrong approach.

Therefore only You! can truly cure yourself of mental illness (once you learn what you need to do so).

Conclusion

The use of any drug (or combination of drugs) whatsoever to cure mental illness is nuts!

Drug-oriented medicine's methodology to cure ANY illness will inevitably be found out for what it truly is it is the biggest hoax in history.

It is not just drugs for mental illness that are a lie. ALL toxic man made drugs are a lie as far as healing goes. Cholesterol drugs are a lie, high blood pressure drugs are a lie, sleep drugs are a lie, acid reflux drugs are a lie, arthritis drugs are a lie, antibiotics are a lie, etc., etc. (This list goes on and on.)

Important Note #2: I encourage everyone that believes what the above blog is saying to forward it in its entirety to their elected representatives at the Federal level. Feel free to include a few personal statements of your own. Our Congresspersons and Senators need to become aware of information such as this. We the public need to know where our politicians stand in regard to the above (or similar) information, such that we can elect them in or out depending. Our politicians need to be held accountable EVERY November in regard to whether they are for Big Pharma, or for the people's health. Hundreds of thousands of persons need to boldly state to Congresspersons and Senators "If you vote anti-supplement or pro Big Pharma in ANY way, I am voting AGAINST YOU in the next election period", or perhaps nothing will ever change.

Stress is a stranger to no one. Once described merely as wear and tear on the body, stress is now best defined as "a disconnection from our divine source." Times of stress may bring feelings of panic and mayhem, but stress also provides the opportunity for spiritual growth—when we call upon our inner resources (faith, patience, humbleness, intuition, courage, humor and compassion) to dismantle life's major roadblocks so that we may walk in balance on the human path. There is an ancient Chinese proverb that speaks to the nature of human existence, and underscores the importance of finding balance in our lives. It reads, "Stand like mountain, move like water." To stand like a mountain means to feel strong and secure in the midst of change. To move like water means to go with the flow. This workshop explores these topics: the relationship between stress and human spirituality, the seasons of the soul, spiritual potential and spiritual health, the use of "muscles of the soul" to dismantle roadblocks and distractions on the spiritual path and several effective life enhancing skills to navigate the shoals on one's life path, or what Joseph Campbell called "the Hero's Journey." Are the winds of change and the winds of grace one in the same? Perhaps! Based on Seaward's popular best seller, Stand Like Mountain, Flow Like Water, this presentation weaves theory and story, personal experience, coping and relaxation skills, humor, wit and love in a poetic synthesis that both educates and inspires audiences of all ages.

Skin cleansing is very much essential, because pollution, grease and grime cling to the skin, clogging pores, while the body eliminates toxins through perspiration. Properly cleansing is the basis for healthy skin. A clean, cotton facecloth can be used to gently moisten the face prior to cleansing, but do not rub or scrub with it, which can irritate or dry your skin. A facecloth does not have to be used to properly cleanse your skin and is a matter of personal preference. A soft towel made of natural fiber should be put in service to dry the skin. Blot the towel over your skin, without rubbing or scrubbing, until your skin is smooth and dry to the touch. Drinking enough water and eating well-balanced meals can assist your body's system in internally cleansing skin care. Sometimes a toner or astringent is used to deep cleanse oily skin or skin with acne after the traditional cleansing routine. This removes oil that is trapped in the pores to leave a cleaner, smoother complexion.

A healthy lifestyle reflects on the skin so staying in good physical condition can aid in the the good appearance of the skin. There are two sets of glands found in the dermis the sweat glands and the oil glands. The sweat glands are employed in the elimination of the water-soluble cellular waste. The oil glands secrete oil, which lubricates the skin surface. This prevents the skin from excessive dryness and chapping. Blockages, congestion, over activity or under activity of these two sets of glands are considered the primary causes of our numerous skin problems. Moisturizing helps in keeping the moisture in the skin. The conditioning routine restores the acid balance on the skin and corrects other such imbalances.Oxygen is vital to the skin and blood cel1s carrying both oxygen and nourishment are circulated to every part of your body including the skin.

Cleansing Skin Care Routine 1. Apply cleansers either with finger tips or on a moistened cotton-wool pad. 2. Apply using brisk small circles all over face neck 3. Around eyes on the bony part, outwards above the eye, towards the nose below the eye on the cheek bone. 4. Up the sides of the nose, up the bridge of the nose and outwards across the forehead. 5. Do not massage in, just thinly coat the face. 6. Gently remove with moist cotton-wool, using stoking movements in the same directions as when applying. 7. To remove eye make up; apply over the closed eye, gently patting not rubbing.

In a recent intuitive writing session at Caritas, the message that came through from our spirit mentors included the following: "...Meditation is of utmost importance at this time in order to maintain your connection [to Spirit], as well as to counterbalance the chaotic energies in the environment and culture. [There is an] intensity that constitutes the 'labor pains' of giving birth to a new awareness of reality on a collective scale. There are those forces that would sabotage this shift by generating events and mindsets that promote fear rather than love.

"Remain rooted in, and conscious of, the Love that exists in your lives and in each person... Seek to infuse that Love into every conversation, every thought, action and intention throughout the day. Create opportunities within normal interactions, to radiate loving energy and thoughts to reinforce each others' efforts in this regard."

In this weekly, silent meditation, we will join together to promote energies of compassion, healing, harmony, understanding, and above all, LOVE, to encompass the planet and all its inhabitants at this critical time. The purpose is to elevate the individual and collective vibrational frequencies so as to contribute our efforts toward the possibility that the planetary shift we are undergoing will result in an evolutionary leap in consciousness. Our intention, along with many other groups around the world, is to provide an infusion of loving, Source energy to ensure the highest possible outcome. Please join us. The collective energy we can generate as a group is a great deal more than the sum of its parts.

Salt is one of the easiest most affective remedies on the planet! Sea salt, a salt obtained by evaporating seawater, is used in cooking and cosmetics. Its mineral content gives it a different taste from table salt, which is usually sodium chloride refined from mined rock salt (halite), or refined from sea salt. Table salt may contain anti- caking agents and additives such as the dietary supplement iodides. Areas that produce specialized sea salt include the Cayman Islands, France, Ireland, Sicily and Apulia in Italy, and Maine and Cape Cod in the United States.

Salt is essential for life and you cannot live without it. There are enormous differences between the standard, refined table and cooking salt and healthy natural salt. The differences can have a major impact on your health.

Halite crystal (sodium chloride) occurs in seawater, along with other salts of sodium, calcium, magnesium, and other light metals. When seawater evaporates in a closed lagoon, halite and other minerals precipitate out and sink to the bottom as crystals. In this way, great beds of rock salt have been formed. Pure halite is colorless, though it is often colored by impurities. It is soft and breaks (cleaves) into cubes. Halite crystallizes in the isometric (also called cubic) crystal system and when it forms crystals, it generally forms cubes. Its most noticeable and important physical feature is that halite is readily soluble in water. This allows halite to be useful in such varied applications as cooking, food preservation, and chemical production.

Salt can be mined from rock salt either by traditional mining practices using heavy equipment underground, or by pumping hot water in pipes into the salt deposit, where the hot water dissolves the halite. The resulting salt water is then pumped to surface and evaporated to yield salt. This is called "solution mining". In some modern dry salt lakes, a crust of halite can be recovered by simply scraping the salt crust off the lake bottom with bulldozers or scrapers. Ancient rock salt is mined in Michigan, New York, Kansas, and other states. Solution mining is used to recover salt from underground "salt domes" in Louisiana and Texas. Recovery of salt from dry lakes takes place in the deserts of California, Nevada, and Utah.

Table Salt

Table salt is actually 97.5% sodium chloride and 2.5% chemicals such as moisture absorbents, and iodine. Dried at over 1,200 degrees Fahrenheit, the excessive heat alters the natural chemical structure of the salt causing the potential for many health problems in your body. Table salt is not recommended in your healing arsenal.

Dead Sea Salt

The mineral content of the Dead Sea is significantly different from that of ocean water, consisting of approximately 53% magnesium chloride, 37% potassium chloride and 8% sodium chloride (common salt) with the remainder comprised of various trace elements. The concentration of sulfate, SO42-, ions is very low, and the bromide ion concentration is the highest of all waters on Earth. Chlorides neutralize most of the calcium ions in the Dead Sea and its surroundings. While in other seas sodium chloride is 97% of the salts, in the Dead Sea the quantity of NaCl is only 12-18%. Comparison between the chemical composition of the Dead Sea to other lakes and oceans show that the salt concentration in the Dead Sea is 31.5% (the salinity fluctuates somewhat). Because of its unusually high concentration of salt, anyone can easily float in the Dead Sea because of natural buoyancy as a result of the higher density of the water.

Celtic Sea Salt

This salt is unparalleled in the world. Less than 1% of the world's salt harvest has the quality of Celtic Sea Salt. Pure, moist, biologically active, and free from any chemicals or additives, this is considered "living sea salt". Celts discovered a way to harvest salt from the ocean using the sun, the wind, and shallow clay ponds. Pristine ocean channels spiral water into the concentrating ponds. The live flowing mixture is carefully stirred by the salt farmer, and dazzling crystals form and are gathered by hand. The ionizing action of the clay, combined with the artisan's skillful method, passed down through generations, enlivens the unique, bioavailable array of trace elements that exist in a perfectly balanced matrix.

Epsom Salts

This salt is a rich source of magnesium. Magnesium helps to regulate the activity of more than 325 enzymes and performs a vital role in orchestrating many bodily functions, from muscle control and electrical impulses to energy production and the elimination of harmful toxins. Epsom Salt also delivers sulfates, which are extremely difficult to get through food but which readily absorb through the skin. Sulfates serve a wide variety of functions in the body, playing a vital role in the formation of brain tissue, joint proteins and the mucin proteins that line the walls of the digestive tract. Sulfates also stimulate the pancreas to generate digestive enzymes and are believed to help detoxify the body's residue of medicines and environmental contaminants. Soak in a tub full of hot water with a few cups of Epsom Salts. This is good for relaxing muscles and drawing toxins from the body. When magnesium sulfate is absorbed through the skin, such as in a bath, it draws toxins from the body, sedates the nervous system, reduces swelling, relaxes muscles, is a natural emollient, exfoliator, and much more. Soak for 15-20 minutes.

Himalayan Crystal Salt

Himalayan Crystal Salt is salt in its native form, with all its vibrational energy intact and it helps your body return to a state of balance. Not having balanced electrolytes shifts your body out of homeostasis - the balance of chemicals that is conducive to the body's function. The renowned Frezenius Institute in Europe analyzed the Himalayan Crystal Salt and proved that it has an amazing array of important trace minerals and elements including potassium, calcium and magnesium that help your body achieve balance by restoring fluids and replenishing your supply of electrolytes whenever you sweat heavily.

Salt Water

The healing abilities of salt water are profound and well documented. Salt water is an astringent and speeds wound healing. Floating in sea water is an extreme release of tension and stress of the day. Allow yourself to float weightlessly in the water. You deserve it.

Sea Air

Deep breathing of ocean air helps us to relax and let go. The faint smell of salt in the air can take us to a place of pure joy. Sea air has a certain aliveness found no where else. This deep breathing can help release tension and the problems associated with it.

Thalassotherapy (from the Greek word thalassos, meaning "sea") is the medical use of seawater. The properties of seawater are believed to have beneficial effects upon the pores of the skin. Thalassotherapy was developed in seaside towns in France during the 19th century. Trace elements of magnesium, potassium, calcium sulphates and sodium, found in seawater, are believed to be absorbed through the skin. The therapy is applied in various forms, as either showers of warmed seawater, application of marine mud or of algae paste, or the inhalation of sea fog. Spas make hot seawater and provide mud- and seaweed wrapping services available.

Healing Salt Remedies

Sinusitis

Chronic sinusitis refers to inflammation of the sinuses that continues for weeks, months, or even years. Allergies are the most common cause of chronic sinusitis. Chronic sinusitis can persist even after antibiotics are given. It's the most frequently reported chronic disease.

Acute sinusitis occurs when bacteria invade the sinus cavities and impair proper drainage of mucus from the sinuses to the nose. Chronic inflammation of the nasal passages or rhinitis also can lead to sinusitis. Allergic rhinitis or hay fever is the most common cause of chronic sinusitis and is a frequent cause of acute sinusitis.

The common cold is the most prevalent predisposing factor to sinusitis. Acute sinusitis typically causes symptoms of nasal congestion and a thick yellow or green discharge. Other symptoms include tenderness and pain over the sinuses, frontal headaches, and sometimes chills, fever, and pressure in the area of the sinuses.

Entering bacteria gets trapped and filtered out by mucus and minute nasal hairs called cilia. This air-flow system can sometimes slow down when something impedes the cilia, if a cold clogs the sinus openings, or if an allergen swells the sinus linings. Then air gets trapped, pressure builds, the mucus stagnates, and bacteria breed. Infection sets in and you have sinusitis. When you get clogged up, you may end up with a permanent thickening of the sinus membranes and chronic congestion.

Sinus Wash

Flush out nasal secretions. Mix 1 teaspoon of non-iodized salt or sea salt with 2 cups of warm water and a pinch of baking soda. Pour it into a shot glass, tilt your head back, close one nostril with your thumb, and sniff the solution with the open nostril. Then blow your nose gently. Repeat on the other side.

An Ayurvedic solution, similar to this is done in the same manner with a Neti Pot. It looks similar to a tea pot, but with a longer, narrower spout for the nostrils. These can be found in most health food stores.

A cup or handful of water in your hand or neti pot is a wonderful cleansing therapy. Slowly inhale the salt water into your nose to cleanse your sinus and open up the air passages. Over the counter nasal washes (not nasal sprays) are available. The simplest form is a non iodized salt water spray.

Mouth Care

The tissues in the mouth can benefit greatly from sea salt.

For bleeding gums - make a paste of 1 tsp. baking soda to 1/2 tsp. sea salt...brush with this mixture 3 times per day instead of the toothpaste. You can also add a few drops of tea tree oil.

Gargle with warm salt water a few times a day to relieve a sore throat, mouth sores or canker sores.

Sea Salt Baths and Scrubs

Sea Salt Scrubs

1. Take a handful of Sea Salt 2. Moisten it into the bath water.. and 3. Gently scrub whole body in circular motion until all the body is scrubbed. 4. Pay extra attention to your feet 5. Rinse with cool clear water

Add to bath water, stir until dissolved. Bath in water for at least 20 minutes

Feng Shui Detoxification Bath

2 Cups Sea Salt 2 Cups Baking Soda 4 Tbsp. Ginger Powder

Place all ingredients in a hot bath and bathe for 20 Minutes Drink plenty of water. This bath withdraws impurities from your body and helps you to feel better. This bath can be done 2 to 3 times in a week or as needed.

Use on knees and elbows in the shower and rinse off. Pat dry with a soft towel.

Negative Energy and Sea Salt

Cleansing with sea salt is a safe and effective way to clear any space of negative energy. Sea salt is obtained by evaporating seawater. Salt occurs naturally in many parts of the world as the mineral halite and as mixed evaporates in salt lakes. Underground salt deposits are found in both bedded sedimentary layers and domal deposits.

Energy in itself, is the vital source, which radiates from everything and everyone around us. When we are ill, emotionally upset, angered or imbalanced, our moods and of course, our energy is altered. Coming in contact with energy that is negative can often be sensed, even felt. The result is often a feeling of uneasiness, confusion or an opposed feeling to our current state of mind.

Cleansing a room with salt can be done by placing salt in small bowls and placing them in the 4 corners for 24 hours. Take two teaspoons of sea salt and dissolve it into some warm water. Pour it into a mister or spray bottle and spray it where ever you need cleansing.

Cleansing yourself of negative vibs can be done by misting yourself for an overall clearing. Draw a bath. As the hot water is filling the tube, add two or more tablespoons of sea salt to the running water and stir it so it dissolves in the tube. Relax in your bath for 15-20 minutes.

Cleansing your crystals can be done by placing a teaspoon of sea salt into a bowl of luke warm water. Make sure the salt is dissolved, then place your crystals in the water for twenty four hours.

Adding herbs or essential oils to sea salt can give an added bonus to cleansing. Herbs such as lavender, sandalwood, tea tree, thyme, rosemary are all good compliments. When using herbs, place them in the salt and shake the salt in a closed container. This bruises the herbs and allows its essential oils to incorporate into the salt matrix. When using essential oils, add a few drops to salt and then stir or shake the salt in order to mix them well.

It's a matter of semantics really, imo.http://youtu.be/thv5GhpFLKA This is the qigong for spleen. You should do the whole routine though. This is just falun dafa, instructions for which are provided for free. It's very good qigong, imo. There are other systems that are also very good.

Smell the rich flora scented flowers and the ripe smell of sunbaked fruit as the salty air fills your lungs with each breath.

Give your whole body up to the support of the sand you are lying in, beneath you. Let the sand take all your weight. The deeper you breath the sea air, the more your body releases and let's go of its tensions.

Feel the gentle air wisp up from your bare toes as it glides up over your body, massaging each Chakra center of energy. Slowly it flows up and over you. Time and time again.

You now feel the gently lapping of the warm Carribean sea at your feet. You see in your mind's eye, the beautiful blue green color of the water as you allow your mind to clear and seem as vast as the sea before you.

Sense your toes at the water's edge by gently wiggling them. Let the sand fall slowly through your fingers as you move them.

Expand the breath in your lungs as you press deeper into the supporting sand.
